The town of Kernville, on the Kern river, was our destination and it was amazing. We spent barely any time hiking but rather just spent the whole time at the river playing about with Macintosh. See yesterday's post about it here.
It was sort of amazing in itself to see so much water in a river. California is in a major drought and lots of the water sources are lower than they should be. This river is still lower than it should be but it was enough for us to cope.
We went to the Kern River Brewing Company for lunch. It was amazing. Americans do burgers and chips better than anyone else. We loved these waffle chips too. Cue the bad picture of Andrew eating....
Amazingly we didn't take many other pictures of the day, except a few of Macintosh swimming. We were too busy enjoying ourselves on the river, and taking a camera onto it without waterproofing would have been disastrous. We did manage a group selfie shot and I took a sweet one of Andrew and Macintosh.
I love the hair parting Andrew has going on!
For the evening celebration we decided to head to a restaurant we'd never been too called Fresco II. The food was soooooooo good! We ate so much I actually felt sick the next day! Andrew obviously had the most meaty meal he could find and I had an amazing chicken feta dish. The restaurant is a Mediterranean based place so we felt rather at home as it was much more European that some of the other restaurants near us. They had a guy playing guitar there too which added some nice atmosphere. It was a great way to end our celebration.
And the only thing to do now is to show you our most ridiculous joint gift...
Yes that is a giant 7 foot replica Sopwith Camel propeller. It is made out of wood after all!
